Poblano Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Coat the poblano peppers with a small amount of oil or cooking spray. Place directly on the oven rack. On a baking sheet, combine the onions, red and green bell peppers, celery and corn.
• Roast the vegetables and peppers for about 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Check occasionally, and turn or stir as needed for even browning. Remove from the oven, and refrigerate until needed.
• Tear the corn tortillas into pieces, and place them in a food processor. Process into fine crumbs. Do this in smaller batches if necessary. Place crumbs on a plate. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip chicken breast halves into the tortilla crumbs to coat, then into the egg mixture, and again in the tortilla crumbs to give them a nice thick coating. Fry the chicken until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes per side. If your chicken is thick and isn't cooked through when the coating is browned, you can place it in the hot oven to finish it. When done, refrigerate until cooled completely.
• Peel and seed the poblano peppers. Place into a food processor along with the mayonnaise. Puree until smooth, and set aside.
• When everything has chilled, dice the chicken breasts. In a large food processor, combine the chicken and roasted vegetables. Blend in the poblano mayonnaise until your desired consistency is reached. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Mix in the poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic. Squeeze the juice from one lime half over the chicken, and place the lime peel and pulp into the skillet. Cover, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and cut chicken into cubes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Gradually stir in the flour and half-and-half. Mix in the cilantro, mushrooms, sour cream, and juice of remaining lime half. Cook and stir 10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
• Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with 6 tortillas. Arrange 1/2 the chicken and pepper mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese, and cover with remaining tortillas. Layer with remaining chicken and pepper mixture, and pour the cilantro sauce evenly over the casserole. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Shake pepper and thyme on chicken breasts.
• Melt butter in skillet and brown the chicken (do not cook all the way thru because you are still going to put it in the oven).
• Set aside in a baking dish and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a saute pan, melt butter and saute onion and poblano peppers till soft.
• Take 3/4 of the onion and pepper mixture and place in blender along with a dash of salt.
• Add sour cream and whipping cream to reach a thick consistency (about 1/4 of the carton).
• Turn on blender and puree, leaving some of the texture- set aside.
• Place chicken breasts in a baking dish, squeeze lime juice on each breast, then pour the pureed mixture over them.
• Take the remainder of the peppers and onion and place them on top of the chickens.
• Cover the top with cheese and lightly sprinkle thyme on top of everything.
• Place in the oven uncovered for 25 minutes- the cheese will be starting to brown by then.
• Serving suggestion: With rice!

Steps:

• Put onion and garlic in slow cooker. Top with chicken and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Layer poblanos and corn over chicken and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook according to manufacturer's instructions (chicken should be falling off the bone).
• Lift chicken from cooking liquid and transfer to serving bowls. Whisk sour cream and cilantro into cooking liquid, then spoon over chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
